If all this still hasn't fixed your problem, then try using a Custom
Property instead. They are less tricky to set up then Globals.
Access it like this:
set the cpSaveInputPath of this stack to true
if the cpSaveInputPath of this stack = true then
You may want to reset it in the preOpenStack handler, like so:
on preOpenStack
set the cpSaveInputPath of this stack to false
end preOpenStackl
You can then check it by looking in the Custom Properties panel of
the Property Inspector.

Try these variations to see if your variable contains
--spaces, tabs, cr, or even multiple lines that are not visible in the
variable watcher unless you click. You might be assuming that
there are
only 4 chars in gSaveInputPath
-------------------------------
answer " length(gSaveInputPath) = " & length(gSaveInputPath)
if gSaveInputPath = "true" then answer "test is indeed TRUE"
if word 1 of gSaveInputPath is "true" then
if gSaveInputPath contains "true" then
if not(gSaveInputPath contains "false") then
replace "true" with empty in gSaveInputPath
answer " length(gSaveInputPath) = " & length(gSaveInputPath)

In my now 3 year long quest to write just ONE useable Rev program,
I was
close but ran into something that I just can't figure out. I have a
checkbutton on a configuration stack (separate from the main
stack) and
a global variable that I set the hilite of the button to (mostly so I
don't need long convoluted descriptions to get to the state from the
main stack).
When it comes time to check the button state, I "put" the global
variable and it says it's true. The very next line is:
if gSaveInputPath then
-- save the path to the file just used for next time
end if
This FAILS every time (I added an else clause to display "not saving
path" just to make sure I was actually getting to the code). I
also tried
if gSaveInputPath is true then.... and that fails too. If I
check my
global variables, it is in fact showing "true" so I can't figure out
what's (not) going on.

PS: Thanks to Jim Ault for you response on the field question.
You were
right that I'm not using groups on various cards/stacks to display
the
same information in different places. I'll give your suggestions
a shot
as soon as I get this (hopefully simpler) problem resolved.
